On
Saturday 1st June, the museums and other venues
of Barcelona which house activities related with
Gaudí organised an open day. The success
of the event surpassed all expectations attracting
more than 20,000 people, some even queuing for
some time to enter the architect's buildings in
the city.

The
day marked the peak of the Gaudí International
Year and more than 90,000 people filled the streets
to participate. The celebration Petits plaers
(Small Pleasures) brought together 17,000 people
in Güell Park between 6 pm and 9 pm. The
suggestive artistry of ilotopie and the Association
Marató de l'Espectacle packed the park
with colour and all kind of performances. In addition,
more than 3,000 people visited the Interpretation
Centre, where it is possible to see the exhibition
"Gaudí and Güell Park. Architecture
and Nature".

In
the evening, the Sagrada Família provided
the framework for a magical and unrepeatable spectacular
of light, music and fireworks. More than 60,000
people attended and discovered the extraordinary
artistic creation conceived by the French company
Groupe F.
